trump's proposal is basically i'll give you daca amnesty if i get everything else i want. why is he already agreeing to the premise that amnesty is even on the table without the shitlibs giving him a inch? this isn't the shit out of the art of the deal by any means.

trump's plan has 0 chance of getting 60 votes in the senate. so any "compromise" that gets the shitlibs on board requires that amnesty happens AND trump doesn't get everything else he wants. wtf? how's that good negotiation?

He needs 60 votes. He’s offered a “compromise” than Dems have refused. End game would be either they cave, or you gun for 60 seats in the fall (although Jones winning has made that even more difficult).

Yeah. It's true. Could be an act, though; after the Democrats won't deal on chain migration or whatever he may just be planning to say "OK! No deal." and let the thing expire next month. In many ways that's the best outcome anyway. The hurdle to actually revive it should be higher and involve more concessions from the left.

The big risk is the GOP Congress (Graham, Rubio, and the rest of the RINOs) as always. I think Trump was always likely to sign whatever they pass, no matter what he'd explicitly "put on the table" or not, and I think it's obvious enough that they expect that, too. Healthcare was basically that way--ANYTHING Congress passed he was going to sign.

I support this interpretation (beclowning the Dems) but I do think he could've accomplished the same effect by holding it only to the DACA people (700,000) instead of expanding it to include the 2 million people who could've, but didn't, sign up for DACA.
